Dear First Grade Families,
I hope this email finds you well. Below are some updates regarding our class for this week, 4/29-5/3. Kindly read all the information below to avoid questions that are clearly stated on this email.
STAR Testing Window 3
On Monday, 4/29 or Tuesday, 4/30, our first grade will be taking their 3rd and final STAR test. This test will measure their knowledge from the 1st-3rd trimester. Please make sure that your child had enough sleep and healthy breakfast before coming to school. Students will be using our school iPad to do the test. It is recommended for students to wear headphones to avoid distraction. If your child has headphones that is compatible to an iPad, please make sure to bring it to school.
HundredX Express Feedback for Good
Our Hundred X Express Feedback for Good (EFG) Spring fundraiser begins on May 1, which will take the place of the Jog-A-Thon fundraising requirement (on your tuition contract) this year. The campaign runs for a month from May 1-30. We have been approved for a $20,000 fundraiser through HundredX! Monies will go toward an upgrade of our camera security system in the daycare room, and an upgrade to our school Wi-Fi services for faster internet access for our students. For every quality brand opinion we do (it takes 1-2 minutes per survey), HundredX will give our school $1.60! If one person does 75 brand opinions (maximum of 25 surveys a day), you will earn Superstar Status! This fundraiser is for everyone you know who is 18 or over. Thanks in advance for your support of this great cause that our children will all benefit from. When you sign up, please choose a team. Every grade level has a team name, so be specific who you want the credit to go to, if you have multiple children.
